Alberta’s NDP Government Bans Reporters

A right-wing news outlet won’t be allowed into government press events in Alberta, because the governing NDP doesn’t consider it a “journalistic source,” Premier Rachel Notley’s office said Tuesday.

The Rebel, launched by divisive commentator Ezra Levant last year, is now planning to sue the province after its reporters were allegedly barred from three recent events — including a press conference with the premier and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this month.
